URBACT Good Practices

A branding initative for sustainable cultural tourism

Optimising urban forests to improve climate and environmental benefits 

Cross-functional initiative combatting inadequate housing to improve tenants' quality of life 

Revitalising residential courtyards for eco-friendly, inclusive outdoor recreation 

The new ‘Towns’ Living Room’, established by the municipality in a vacant building, involves the heads of the city administration, active citizens, social services, development agency, public library and nursing home, local clubs and various associations

Coordinating effective, small-scale natural water retention measures 

Promoting environmentally friendly transport and reducing car traffic - and thus CO2 emissions - within the city

A clear vision and a participatory approach are more important than a masterplan for urban regeneration.

Lowering barriers to make entrepreneurship an option for everyone
